Rarely, in the press of day‐to‐day scientific work, is there a quiet moment to stand back and survey our part of the geophysical landscape. These quadrennial reviews, it seems to me, are the ideal place in which to do so. But too often we have had a deadening recitation of details rather than a lively forum. I could not write that kind of review.
